Among them was the possibility of replacing throw-ins with kick-ins. Throw-ins have been used in football since the 1860s, with the Football Association banning the kick-in option in 1863. But kick-ins could made a comeback after Ifab confirmed that trials were set to take place and the Dutch second division keen to try it out. Body cameras worn by referees could also be trialled in an attempt to improve the safety of officials in adult grassroots football.
